This is a picture of my kids while we were sitting on a boat in Downtown Disney. I took a picture of them with the hot air balloon in the background and I immediately envisioned using the papers from the Park Drive collection from WP. I love the hot air balloons in that collection.

I created this layout yesterday and it took me such a long time to get it the way I wanted. I spent 3 hours working with it and could not get it to work so I had to walk away and watch TV and relax. Surprisingly I didn’t get too frustrated because I knew that if I left it it would work itself out later.I finally changed the background and style by ripping strips from the Websters Pages’ papers. I masked the card stock with a wood grain mask from Prima. Then I sprayed ink and let it drip.

I used this sketch from Keeping the Best as Inspiration for this layout

There’s also a challenge at Frosted Designs called Up Up and Away that is perfect for this challenge using the hot air balloons.

Love this layout,the colors and design!! I know how it feels when it wont work. I do the same, never have a idea, just doing something, and than if it wont work I walk away from it. Most of the time when I come back I suddenly see the solution.

Well, I'm glad you walked away then came back – those strips of material, lace etc are magical…& I'm in the middle of a LO where I've done just what you've done…so I'll go back to it today thinking 'Keren did it, I can too'!!!! Otherwise, I'll just send it on over to you to fix….nah, just kidding:):):)

Beautiful Keren…I love the colouring! Love how you let the page work itself out…I always find that too…even if just 5 mins away from it, when you return you have a different perspective!! Gorgeous work!

I love the colors in this, just beautiful, also love how the Websters flower mimics the shape of the balloon in the photo and the strips and drips are like the ropes of a balloon, very creative and very gorgeous!!

This is really a stunning layout. Just love the colour combination that you used and all the elements you have to the layout! Awesome take on the sketch and the FD challenge! Thank you for taking part in the challenge over at FD!!!!!!!!!

It was soooo worth the struggle Keren! the result is brethtaking! something very special about the colours and the dripping and paper strips almost mimic the rays of sun and melting popsicles!! An absolutely smashing layout in every way possible! xoxoxo

About Me

Hi, I'm Keren
I’m a wife to a wonderful husband and a mother to two amazing kids. I’ve been scrapbooking for 13 years and I'm very passionate about it. Over the past couple of years, I've diverted myself into the mixed media world and I love combining them both together.
I love to create and experiment with many different mediums and techniques. My style is always evolving and that's one of the things I love about this art.
I hope you enjoy the layouts I create!!
